HIPAA Survival Guide

The HIPAA Survival Guide attempts a “forest from the trees” overview of the HIPAA Privacy and Security rules. The genesis of these rules is covered in the Background section of this guide. The Survival Guide only targets a subset of covered entities, namely providers. Furthermore, the Survival Guide focuses mostly on small providers, since this group will clearly be the most challenged by new laws and regulations, especially if their baseline understanding of HIPAA is lacking.
